Webber has yet to win this season but Vettel has picked up six wins from 10 races to open up a 77-point lead over his team-mate at the top of the drivers' championship, with Hamilton five further back.

"If you look at Hungary last year the Red Bull was light years ahead of everyone," said Hamilton.

"But you can't expect them [Red Bull] to be perfect all the time.

"Sunday was one of their first down moments - and hopefully they'll have more - but we capitalised on it, and hopefully we'll be able to do that in the future."
